League legend Matt Bowen has dropped a bombshell on the Cowboys, revealing that the club sacked him as a player in 2013. At the time it was reported that it was Bowen who decided to quit the club and finish his career with two seasons with English club Wigan. But Bowen - arguably the best player the Cowboys have produced - revealed on Andy Raymond's Unfiltered podcast that he was shown the door by the club - and he wasn't happy about it. "To be honest I wish I had stayed at the Cows. I was told I wasn't needed at the club at the time," Bowen said. "You get called into the office and they say they haven't got room for you next year … I didn't know what to say … I didn't know what to think. "Two years later they won the comp and I would have been a part of it. "It was a kick in the guts. Obviously I did so much for this club and my missus is still bitter about it today. I love the club, don't get me wrong. I know how hard the players train. "But being told that at the back end of the year - and I think I just missed out on the Dally M (Medal). "I was only 29 or 30 and I knew I had more to offer."
